How long does it take for a 5 year bronze elite visa turn around? Looking at doing that instead of retirement visa although I qualify. The agency I used sucked and got my name and passport numbers wrong on documents. I need an easy route. I don’t care about the money. I’m sick, I have cancer complications hence the reason for using an agency. I’m tired. I just need something easy. The banks have been giving me the run around and frankly I’m too ing tired, literally and physically to deal with it them anymore. Any jerk comments will be deleted. Just need some advice, kindness, and grace for once. Just once.

I was under the impression that Tricare is only good in CONUS. How can it be used in Thailand? This could save me a load of money because I mostly use Bangkok hospital in Udon Thani.

Came into BKK yesterday with a remote work DTV and the whole family as dependents. No questions asked. Got stamped in right away.

I am looking to relocate to Thailand permanently. Any recommendations or advice on process or visas?

Hello, hope everyone is well. I’m considering retiring in Thailand at the end of the year I’m going to retiring Koh Chang I think I will get someone on the aisle to help me with the visas. I’ve been reading a lot what you say and it sounds quite simple but I may make a mistake. What I am interested in is how much is the medical insurance and which is the best place to get it? I’m 65 quite healthy go to the gym every day I did a bowel cancer five years ago well that’s all been sorted now. I have the funds to put in the bank for the Visa. That’s not a problem and a regular income I also have a dog and I’m thinking of bringing the dog Has anyone ever brought their dog it very expensive to do? I have researched a bit and it seems to be between two and £4000 

Thanks 👍🏻

I want to stay in thailand 5 months and also get health insurance this year. Last trip I could stay for 6 months. Every 60 days made border run to Cambodia.from Pattaya very easy. Can I do this this year ?

Hello,

If you are 48 and a half years old and you come to Thailand to live now . What visa is the best to bridge the gap to become 50 to apply for a retirement visa?

Can you get a health insurance if you do not have a long term visa?

What are my best long term visas I should look into? I will be late 30s, from USA, fully retired living off my long term investments. Have no remote work nor plan or want to work at all. Is DTV soft power a good option? I don’t want to have to do cooking classes or Muay Thai every week for 5 years(though may end up doing Muay Thai anyways)

Should I just shell out the cash and get the elite?

Obviously once I hit 50 I will switch to retirement visa but need something for the next 11-12 years

Travel Insurance: I'm looking for the best travel insurance for medical reimbursement in the event of emergency. I don't care about reimbursemet for all that other junk they throw in or even for trip cancellation, just the best medical reimbursement. One name keeps coming up: Faye. From what I can tell they are primary payor, so they pay first and pay directly to the Bangkok hospital of your choice. (Many other insurers YOU have to pay then they reimburse you whenever they get around to it). What I've done is entered my information and set the trip cancellation amount to as low as allowed ($1000) to get the lowest premium, and that gets me $250KUSD medical insurance. I was just wondering if anyone has bought Faye in the past or actuallly had to use them and what the experience was like. Thanks everyone. BTW lots of people say travel insurance is a waste and I used to be one of them until I ended up in Phyathai2 for 10 days from acute respiratory arrest. Try talking yourself out of that one with no insurance and enough cash for about 1/10 of the bill.

I moved to Nakon Ratchasima last year and kept my US health insurance (62 yo male in good health). However, the insurance is $750 USD a month. Is it advisable to cancel that insurance, get local insurance, and just get travel insurance for my twice yearly trips to the US to see the grandkids? I plan to just do 10 day trips to the US. Thank you.
